Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Anordnung zur Befestigung eines hydraulischen Schwingungsdämpfers oder dergleichen im Tragrohr eines radführenden Federbeins, insbesondere für Kraftfahrzeuge, mit im Bereich des oberen Endabschnitts des Schwingungsdämpfers zwischen diesem und dem Tragrohr vorgesehenen oberen Befestigungseinrichtungen, wobei ein zwsichen dem Schwingungsdämpfer und dem Tragrohr angeordneter Schraubring vorgesehen ist, wobei die oberen Befestigungseinrichtungen im Bereich des unteren Kragens des am Tragrohr befestigten Federtellers angeordnet sind und im Bereich des Bodens des Schwingungsdämpfers zwischen diesem und dem Tragrohr untere Befestigungseinrichtungen vorgesehen sind.The invention relates to an arrangement for fastening a hydraulic vibration damper or the like in the support tube of a wheel-carrying shock absorber, in particular for motor vehicles, with upper fastening devices provided in the region of the upper end section of the vibration damper between the latter and the support tube, with an arrangement arranged between the vibration damper and the support tube Screw ring is provided, wherein the upper fastening devices are arranged in the region of the lower collar of the spring plate fastened to the support tube and lower fastening devices are provided in the region of the bottom of the vibration damper between the latter and the support tube.

Derartige hydraulische Schwingungsdämpfer werden bekanntlich von oben in ein Federbeintragrohr eingebaut und können aus diesem auch von oben wieder ausgebaut werden. Während das Tragrohr mit seinem unteren Ende über entsprechende Verbindungselemente mit dem Fahrwerk verbunden ist, ist das obere Kolbenstangenende des Schwingungsdämpfers über ein Lager mit dem Fahrzeugaufbau verbunden. Zwischen einem Federteller am Tragrohr und einem weiteren Federteller am Lager des Fahrzeugaufbaus ist eine Fahrzeugtragfeder angeordnet. Eine derartige lösbare Befestigung eines Radachsschenkels an einer diesen tragenden Teleskopstrebe ist z. B. aus der DE-AS 2404188 bekannt, bei der die Teleskopstrebe mit ihrem freien Ende in ein becherförmiges Teil eingesetzt und mit einem Gewindezapfen versehen ist, der duch den Boden des becherförmigen Teiles ragt und unter Verwendung einer Mutter der Befestigung der Teleskopstrebe im becherförmigen Teil dient.Such hydraulic vibration dampers are known to be installed from above in a suspension strut support tube and can also be removed from this again from above. While the lower end of the support tube is connected to the chassis via corresponding connecting elements, the upper piston rod end of the vibration damper is connected to the vehicle body via a bearing. A vehicle support spring is arranged between a spring plate on the support tube and a further spring plate on the bearing of the vehicle body. Such a releasable attachment of a Radachsschenkels on a telescopic strut carrying this z. B. from DE-AS 2404188, in which the telescopic strut is used with its free end in a cup-shaped part and is provided with a threaded pin which protrudes through the bottom of the cup-shaped part and using a nut for fastening the telescopic strut in the cup-shaped part serves.

Bei einer weiteren bekannten Anordnung (z. B. DE-GM 66 04 512) stützt sich der in üblicher Weise ausgebildete Schwingungsdämpfer mit dem Boden seines Außenrohres gegen den Boden des Tragrohres ab und ist mit dem oberen Ende des Außenrohres über einen Schraubring mit dem Tragrohr axial unter Druckspannung verbunden. Wenn nun aus Gründen der Gewichtseinsparung das Tragrohr bis zum unteren Kragen des mit ihm verbundenen Federtellers verkürzt werden muß, entstehen Schwierigkeiten bei der Anbringung des Schraubringes.In a further known arrangement (e.g. DE-GM 66 04 512), the vibration damper, which is formed in the usual way, is supported with the bottom of its outer tube against the bottom of the support tube and is connected to the support tube with the upper end of the outer tube via a screw ring axially connected under compressive stress. If, for reasons of weight saving, the support tube has to be shortened to the lower collar of the spring plate connected to it, difficulties arise in the attachment of the screw ring.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine einfache und wirksame Anordnung zur Befestigung des Schwingungsdämpfers in einem Tragrohr zu schaffen, welches insbesondere bis zum unteren Kragen des mit ihm verbundenen Federtellers verkürzt ist. Dabei soll die Befestigungsanordnung vor allem räumlich leicht unterbringbar und derart betätigbar sein, daß der Einbauzustand, in dem sich die Innenteile beispielsweise eines Zweirohrschwingungsdämpfers aus Funktionsgründen befinden, nicht beeinträchtigt wird.The present invention has for its object to provide a simple and effective arrangement for fastening the vibration damper in a support tube, which is shortened in particular to the lower collar of the spring plate connected to it. The fastening arrangement should above all be easily accommodated in space and actuated in such a way that the installed state, in which the inner parts of a two-tube vibration damper for functional reasons, for example, are not impaired.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Befestigungsanordnung der eingangs beschriebenen Gattung erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der von den oberen Befestigungseinrichtungen umfaßte Schraubring am Außenrohr des Schwingungsdämpfers fest angebracht ist und die unteren Befestigungseinrichtungen durch Abstützen des Bodens des Schwingungsdämpfers am Boden des Tragrohres gebildet sind, wobei am Boden des Schwingungsdämpfers ein Sechskant oder dergleichen fest angebracht ist, welcher durch einen entsprechenden Durchbruch des Bodens des Tragrohres aus diesem herausragt, wobei die oberen und unteren Befestigungseinrichtungen ohne Aufbringung einer axialen Zugbeanspruchung auf das Außenrohr des Schwingungsdämpfers betätigbar sind.This object is achieved in a fastening arrangement of the type described in the introduction in that the screw ring encompassed by the upper fastening devices is fixedly attached to the outer tube of the vibration damper and the lower fastening devices are formed by supporting the bottom of the vibration damper on the bottom of the support tube, the bottom of the Vibration damper a hexagon or the like is firmly attached, which protrudes through a corresponding opening in the bottom of the support tube, the upper and lower fastening devices can be actuated without applying an axial tensile stress to the outer tube of the vibration damper.

Es sind also obere und untere Befestigungseinrichtungen zwischen Schwingungsdämpfer und Tragrohr vorgesehen, so daß bei verkürztem Federbeintragrohr keinerlei rämliche und funktionelle Probleme für die Befestigungsanordnung entsteht. Dadurch daß ferner die oberen und unteren Befestigungseinrichtungen ohne Aufbringung einer axialen Zugbeanspruchung auf das Außenrohr betätigbar sind, ist gewährleistet, daß die axiale Druckspannung, unter der die Innenteile . beispielsweise eines Zweirohrschwingungsdämpfers aus Funktionsgründen stehen, nicht durch Vergrößerung der Zugspannung des Außenrohres des Schwingungsdämpfers verloren geht.So there are upper and lower fastening devices between the vibration damper and the support tube, so that with shortened suspension strut support tube there are no practical and functional problems for the attachment arrangement. Characterized in that the upper and lower fastening devices can be actuated without applying an axial tensile stress on the outer tube, it is ensured that the axial compressive stress under which the inner parts. for example, a two-tube vibration damper for functional reasons, is not lost by increasing the tensile stress of the outer tube of the vibration damper.

Dabei ist mit Vorteil in dem Schraubring ein Gummiring oder dergleichen eingelagert, der sich gegen den unteren Kragen des Federtellers abstützt.A rubber ring or the like is advantageously embedded in the screw ring, which is supported against the lower collar of the spring plate.

Bei dieser Ausführungsform wird also der mit dem Schraubring versehene Schwingungsdämpfer auf besonders einfache Weise mittels eines auf dem Sechskant aufgesteckten Schlüssels in das Tragrohr eingedreht bzw. aus diesem herausgedreht. Dabei wird das Außenrohr des Schwingungsdämpfers unter Vermeidung einer axialen Zugbeanspruchung axial verspannt, d. h. unter Druck in axialer Richtung eingespannt. Der in den Schraubring eingelegte Gummiring dient zur Vermeidung von Korrosionsschäden.In this embodiment, the vibration damper provided with the screw ring is screwed into or unscrewed from the support tube in a particularly simple manner by means of a key attached to the hexagon. The outer tube of the vibration damper is axially clamped while avoiding axial tensile stress, i. H. clamped under pressure in the axial direction. The rubber ring inserted in the screw ring serves to avoid corrosion damage.

Alternativ wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß im Bereich des oberen Endabschnittes des Schwingungsdämpfers zwischen diesem und dem Tragrohr eine obere Befestigungseinrichtung vorgesehen ist, wobei die oberen Befestigungseinrichtungen im Bereich des unteren Kragens des am Tragrohr befestigten Federtellers angeordnet sind und daß zwischen dem Schwingungsdämpfer und dem Tragrohr ein Schraubring angeordnet ist, daß der ringförmige Vorsprung des Schwingungsdämpfers an einem sich an das Außenrohr anschließenden Bodentopf angebracht ist und daß der ringförmige Vorsprung am Schwingungsdämpfer durch einen Sprengring und der Vorsprung innerhalb des Tragrohrs durch in diesem ausgeprägte Innensicken gebildet sind.Alternatively, this object is achieved in that an upper fastening device is provided in the region of the upper end portion of the vibration damper between the latter and the support tube, the upper fastening devices being arranged in the region of the lower collar of the spring plate fastened to the support tube and in that between the vibration damper and the support tube a screw ring is arranged that the annular projection of the vibration damper is attached to a bottom pot adjoining the outer tube and that the annular projection on the vibration damper by a The snap ring and the protrusion are formed within the support tube by pronounced internal beads in this.

Im übrigen ist mit Vorteil am Boden des Schwingungsdämpfers ein Sechskant oder dergleichen fest angebracht. Bei dieser Ausführungsform erfolgt die untere Befestigung des Schwingungsdämpfers im Tragrohr auf einfache Weise dadurch, daß man den Schraubring mittels eines entsprechenden in die Betätigungsnuten im Bund des Schraubrings eingesteckten Schlüssels eindreht, wobei der Schwingungsdämpfer über den an seinem Boden befestigten Sechskant entgegengehalten wird. Dabei wird der umlaufende Vorsprung des Schwingungsdämpfers gegen den ihm zugeordneten Innenvorsprung des Tragrohrs angedrückt. Der Schwingungsdämpfer wird somit durch die unteren Befestigungseinrichtungen einfach und sicher im Tragrohr axial fixiert.In addition, a hexagon or the like is advantageously fixedly attached to the bottom of the vibration damper. In this embodiment, the lower fastening of the vibration damper in the support tube is carried out in a simple manner by turning the screw ring by means of a corresponding key inserted into the actuating grooves in the collar of the screw ring, the vibration damper being held against the hexagon fastened to its base. The circumferential projection of the vibration damper is pressed against the associated internal projection of the support tube. The vibration damper is thus easily and securely axially fixed in the support tube by the lower fastening devices.

Hinsichtlich der oberen Befestigungseinrichtungen sind bei der vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsform verschiedene erfindungsgemäße Ausbildungen denkbar. Beispielsweise können die oberen Befestigungseinrichtungen eine Klemmschraub-Anordnung zum radialen Verklemmen des Außenrohrs im Tragrohr umfassen. Mit Vorteil ist dabei stirnseitig am Tragrohr zwischen Außenrohr und unterem Kragen des Federtellers ein Gummipuffer angeordnet, welcher sich mit seinem oberen Ende stirnseitig gegen eine mit dem Außenrohr fest verbundene Scheibe abstützt.With regard to the upper fastening devices, various configurations according to the invention are conceivable in the embodiment described above. For example, the upper fastening devices can comprise a clamping screw arrangement for radially clamping the outer tube in the support tube. Advantageously, a rubber buffer is arranged on the end face of the support tube between the outer tube and the lower collar of the spring plate, the upper end of which supports itself against a washer which is firmly connected to the outer tube.

Durch Betätigung der diese oberen Befestigungseinrichtungen bildenden Klemmschraube wird das Außenrohr des Schwingungsdämpfers innerhalb des Tragrohres derart verspannt, daß Kontaktschlüssigkeit zwischen Außenrohr und Tragrohr entsteht. Hierdurch wird auf einfache Weise eine radiale Beweglichkeit des Schwingungsdämpfers in seinem oberen Bereich innerhalb des Tragrohrs vermieden. Der an den oberen Befestigungseinrichtungen vorgesehene Gummipuffer dient im übrigen zur Vermeidung von Korrosionsschäden.By actuating the clamping screw forming these upper fastening devices, the outer tube of the vibration damper is clamped within the supporting tube in such a way that there is contact between the outer tube and the supporting tube. This easily avoids radial mobility of the vibration damper in its upper region within the support tube. The rubber buffer provided on the upper fastening devices also serves to prevent corrosion damage.

Gemäß einer anderen ebenfalls vorteilhaften Ausbildung der oberen Befestigungseinrichtungen umfassen diese einen zwischen Außenrohr und Tragrohr einbringbaren geschlitzten, innenspannenden Ring mit selbsthemmenden Außenkonus, welchem ein entsprechender Innenkonus des Tragrohrs zugeordnet ist, wobei sich der Ring nach oben unter Zwischenschaltung einer axial beweglichen Scheibe gegen eine vorgespannte Schraubenfeder abstützt, die sich mit ihrem oberen Ende gegen eine mit dem Außenrohr fest verbundene Scheibe abstützt. Zwischen dem innen- spannenden Ring und der axial beweglichen Scheibe ist mit Vorteil ein sich radial zwischen Außenrohr und Tragrohr erstreckender Gummiring oder dergleichen angeordnet.According to another likewise advantageous embodiment of the upper fastening devices, these comprise a slotted inner clamping ring with a self-locking outer cone which can be inserted between the outer tube and the supporting tube and to which a corresponding inner cone of the supporting tube is assigned, the ring moving upwards with the interposition of an axially movable disk against a prestressed coil spring supports, which is supported with its upper end against a disc firmly connected to the outer tube. A rubber ring or the like, which extends radially between the outer tube and the support tube, is advantageously arranged between the internally clamping ring and the axially movable disk.

Auch bei dieser Ausbildung der oberen Befestigungseinrichtungen wird auf einfache Weise eine radiale Beweglichkeit des Schwingungsdämpfers in seinem oberen Bereich innerhalb des Tragrohrs vermieden. Um eine während des Anschraubvorgangs erforderliche axiale Beweglichkeit des Schwingungsdämpfers zu gewährleisten, muß die erzeugte Axialkraft der Schraubenfeder unterhalb der axialen Klemmkraft des innen- spannenden Ringes liegen. Im übrigen stellt die selbsthemmende Funktionsweise des Konus sicher, daß der unter Radialpressung stehende Kontakt zwischen Außenrohr des Schwingungsdämpfers, innen-spannendem Ring und Tragrohr bei Seitenkräften keine Axialverschiebung des innenspannenden Ringes zuläßt. Der auch bei diesen oberen Befestigungseinrichtungen vorgesehene Gummiring dient in entsprechender Weise zum Korrosionsschutz.Even with this design of the upper fastening devices, radial mobility of the vibration damper in its upper region within the support tube is avoided in a simple manner. In order to ensure the necessary axial mobility of the vibration damper during the screwing-on process, the generated axial force of the coil spring must be below the axial clamping force of the internally clamping ring. In addition, the self-locking function of the cone ensures that the contact between the outer tube of the vibration damper, the inner-tensioning ring and the support tube under radial pressure does not permit axial displacement of the inner-tensioning ring under lateral forces. The rubber ring also provided in these upper fastening devices serves in a corresponding manner for corrosion protection.

Sollte der innen-spannende Ring bei der Demontage der Schwingungsdämpferanordnung im Innenkonus des Tragrohrs haften bleiben, so kann der Ring durch den über das Außenrohr des Schwingungsdämpfers herausragenden Vorsprung, insbesondere Sprengring bzw. Außenflansch mitgenommen werden. Erfindungsgemäß können zu diesem Zweck auch unterhalb des innen-spannenden Ringes am Außenrohr angeordnete Außensicken vorgesehen sein.If the internally exciting ring remains stuck in the inner cone of the support tube when dismantling the vibration damper arrangement, the ring can be taken along by the protrusion protruding over the outer tube of the vibration damper, in particular snap ring or outer flange. According to the invention, external beads arranged on the outer tube can also be provided below the inner-tensioning ring.

Die vorstehend beschriebene Schwingungsdämpfer-Befestigungsanordnung mit innen-spannendem Ring ist mit besonderem Vorteil auch dann verwendbar, wenn das Tragrohr aus einer gewichtseinsparenden Aluminiumlegierung besteht. Die größere Wärmeausdehnung eines solchen Tragrohres gegenüber dem aus Stahl bestehenden Schwingungsdämpfer in axialer und auch in radialer Richtung wird durch den nachstellenden innen-spannenden Ring kompensiert. Die formschlüssige Verbindung bleibt somit unter allen Temperaturbedingungen bestehen.The vibration damper fastening arrangement described above with an internally exciting ring can also be used with particular advantage if the support tube consists of a weight-saving aluminum alloy. The greater thermal expansion of such a support tube compared to the vibration damper made of steel in the axial and also in the radial direction is compensated for by the adjusting, internally exciting ring. The positive connection thus remains under all temperature conditions.

Wie leicht einzusehen, sind auch die beiden zuletzt beschriebenen Ausführungsformen der oberen und unteren Befestigungseinrichtungen ohne Aufbringung einer axialen Zugbeanspruchung auf das Außenrohr betätigbar.As is easy to see, the two last-described embodiments of the upper and lower fastening devices can also be actuated without applying an axial tensile stress to the outer tube.

In the support tube 1 'or 1 "or 1'" is a hydraulic vibration damper 3 'or 3 "or 3"' stored. A fastening arrangement is used to fasten the vibration damper 3 'or 3 "or 3"', respectively, the fastening arrangements shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 being each represented by upper 4 'or 4 "or 4"' and lower 5 'or 5 "or 5"'fasteners are formed. According to the invention, the upper fastening devices 4 'or 4 "or 4"' are arranged in the region of the lower collar of the spring plate 2 ', 2 ", 2"' fastened to the support tube 1, and the lower fastening devices 5 'or 5 "or . 5 "'are provided in the area of the bottom of the vibration damper, the upper and lower fastening devices in each case without applying an axial tensile stress to the outer tube 6' or 6" or 6 "'of the vibration damper 3' or 3" or 3 '"can be operated.

Bei der Ausführung nach Figur 1 umfassen die oberen Befestigungseinrichtungen einen Schraubring 7, welcher am Außenrohr 6' des Schwingungsdämpfers 3' durch Verschweißen fest angebracht ist. Das Tragrohr 1' weist in seinem oberen Endbereich ein nicht näher bezeichnetes Gewinde zur Aufnahme des Schraubrings 7 auf. Die unteren Befestigungseinrichtungen 5' sind durch Abstützen des Bodens des Schwingungsdämpfers 3' am Boden des Tragrohrs 1' gebildet, wobei am Boden des Schwingungsdämpfers 3' ein Sechskant 8 fest angebracht ist, welcher durch einen entsprechenden Durchbruch 9 des Bodens des Tragrohrs 1' aus diesem herausragt. Zur Betätigung der Befestigungsanordnung gemäß Figur 1 wird einfach der Sechskant 8 mittels eines Schlüssels gedreht, wodurch der am Schwingungsdämpfer 3' befestigte Schraubring 7 in das Gewinde des Tragrohrs 1' eingeschraubt wird. Zur Vermeidung von Korrosionsschäden ist im Schraubring 7 ein Gummiring 10 eingelagert, der sich gegen den unteren Kragen des Federtellers 2' abstützt.In the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the upper fastening devices comprise a screw ring 7 which is fixedly attached to the outer tube 6 'of the vibration damper 3' by welding. The support tube 1 'has in its upper end region a thread (not specified in more detail) for receiving the screw ring 7. The lower fastening devices 5 'are formed by supporting the bottom of the vibration damper 3' on the bottom of the support tube 1 ', a hexagon 8 being fixedly attached to the bottom of the vibration damper 3', which through a corresponding opening 9 in the bottom of the support tube 1 ' protrudes. To actuate the fastening arrangement according to FIG. 1, the hexagon 8 is simply turned by means of a key, as a result of which the screw ring 7 attached to the vibration damper 3 'is screwed into the thread of the support tube 1'. To avoid corrosion damage, a rubber ring 10 is embedded in the screw ring 7, which is supported against the lower collar of the spring plate 2 '.

Bei der Ausführung nach Figur 2 umfassen die unteren Befestigungseinrichtungen 5" einen insbesondere als Sprengring ausgebildeten ringförmigen Vorsprung 11 im Bereich des Endes des Schwingungsdämpfers 3". Der Vorsprung 11 ist mittels eines zwischen den unteren Enden von Schwingungsdämpfer 3" und unten offenem Tragrohr 1" angeordneten Schraubrings 12 gegen einen insbesondere als mehrere Innensicken ausgebildeten Vorsprung 13 innerhalb des Tragrohrs 1" abstützbar.In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the lower fastening devices 5 "comprise an annular projection 11, in particular in the form of a snap ring, in the region of the end of the vibration damper 3". The projection 11 can be supported by means of a screw ring 12 arranged between the lower ends of the vibration damper 3 ″ and the support tube 1 ″ which is open at the bottom, against a projection 13, in particular in the form of a plurality of internal beads, within the support tube 1 ″.

Der Schraubring 12 ist mit seinem Gewinde in ein am Ende des Schwingungsdämpfers 3" befindliches nicht näher bezeichnetes Gewinde einschraubbar und stützt sich mit einem äußeren, Betätigungsnuten 14 aufweisenden Bund 15 stirnseitig am Tragrohr 1" ab. Mittels eines in den Betätigungsnuten 14 einsteckbaren Schlüssels ist der Schraubring 12 einschraubbar, wobei der Vorsprung 11 am Schwingungsdämpfer 3" gegen den Vorsprung 13 am Tragrohr 1" andrückbar ist. Hierbei wird der Schwingungsdämpfer 3" über einen an seinem Boden befestigten Sechskant 16 entgegengehalten.The screw ring 12 can be screwed with its thread into an unspecified thread located at the end of the vibration damper 3 "and is supported on the end face on the support tube 1" by an outer collar 15 having actuating grooves 14. The screw ring 12 can be screwed in by means of a key which can be inserted into the actuating grooves 14, the projection 11 on the vibration damper 3 ″ being pressed against the projection 13 on the support tube 1 ″. Here, the vibration damper 3 "is held against a hexagon 16 attached to its bottom.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist der ringförmige Vorsprung 11 des Schwingungsdämpfers an einem sich an das eigentliche Außenrohr 6" anschließenden Bodentopf 17 angebracht.The ring-shaped projection 11 of the vibration damper is expediently attached to a bottom pot 17 adjoining the actual outer tube 6 ″.

Die in Figur 2 dargestellten oberen Befestigungseinrichtungen 4" umfassen eine Klemmschraub-Anordnung 18 zum radialen Verklemmen des Außenrohrs 6" im Tragrohr 1". Ferner ist stirnseitig am Tragrohr 1" zwsichen Außenrohr 6" und unterem Kragen des Federtellers 2" ein Gummipuffer 19 angeordnet, welcher sich mit seinem oberen Ende stirnseitig gegen eine mit dem Außenrohr 6" fest verbundene Scheibe 20 abstützt. Der Gummipuffer 19 dient zur Vermeidung von Korrosionsschäden.The upper fastening devices 4 ″ shown in FIG. 2 comprise a clamping screw arrangement 18 for radially clamping the outer tube 6 ″ in the support tube 1 ″. Furthermore, a rubber buffer 19 is arranged on the front side of the support tube 1 ″ between the outer tube 6 ″ and the lower collar of the spring plate 2 ″. which is supported with its upper end at the end against a disk 20 which is firmly connected to the outer tube 6 ″. The rubber buffer 19 serves to avoid corrosion damage.

Bei der in Figur 3 veranschaulichten Befestigungsanordnung entsprechen die unteren Befestigungseinrichtungen 5"' den unteren Befestigungseinrichtungen 5" nach Figur 2. Hingegen sind die oberen Befestigungseinrichtungen 4"' unterschiedlich ausgebildet.In the fastening arrangement illustrated in FIG. 3, the lower fastening devices 5 ″ correspond to the lower fastening devices 5 ″ according to FIG. 2. On the other hand, the upper fastening devices 4 ″ are designed differently.

Im einzelnen umfassen die oberen Befestigungseinrichtungen 4"' einen zwischen Außenrohr 6"' und Tragrohr 1"' einbringbaren geschlitzten, innen-spannenden Ring 21 mit selbsthemmendem Außenkonus, welchem ein entsprechender Innenkonus des Tragrohrs 1"' zugeordnet ist. Der Ring 21 stützt sich nach oben unter Zwischenschaltung einer axial beweglichen Scheibe 22 gegen eine vorgespannte Schraubenfeder 23 ab, die sich mit ihrem oberen Ende gegen eine mit dem Außenrohr fest verbundene Scheibe 24 abstützt.In detail, the upper fastening devices 4 "'comprise a slotted, internally exciting ring 21 which can be inserted between the outer tube 6"' and the support tube 1 "'and which has a self-locking outer cone, to which a corresponding inner cone of the support tube 1"' is assigned. The ring 21 is supported upwards with the interposition of an axially movable disc 22 against a prestressed coil spring 23, which is supported with its upper end against a disc 24 which is fixedly connected to the outer tube.

Es versteht sich, daß die erzeugte Axialkraft der Schraubenfeder 23 unterhalb der axialen Klemmkraft des innen-spannenden Ringes 21 liegt, um die axiale Beweglichkeit des Schwingungsdämpfers 3"' während des Anschraubvorganges mittels des Schraubrings 12 zu gewährleisten. Die selbsthemmende Funktionsweise des innen- spannenden Rings 21 ist erforderlich, damit der unter Radialpressung stehende Kontakt zwischen Außenrohr 6"', innen-spannendem Ring 21 und Tragrohr 1"' bei Seitenkräften keine Axialverschiebung des innen-spannenden Ringes 21 zuläßt.It is understood that the generated axial force of the coil spring 23 is below the axial clamping force of the internally tensioning ring 21 in order to ensure the axial mobility of the vibration damper 3 "'during the screwing process by means of the screw ring 12. The self-locking functioning of the internally tensioning ring 21 is required so that the contact between the outer tube 6 "', the inner-exciting ring 21 and the support tube 1"' under radial pressure does not permit axial displacement of the inner-exciting ring 21 under lateral forces.

Sollte der innen-spannende Ring 21 beim Ausbau des Schwingungsdämpfers 3"' aus dem Tragrohr 1"' in dessen Innenkonus haften bleiben, so wird der Ring 21 durch am Außenrohr 6"' unterhalb des Ringes 21 befindliche (nicht dargestellte) Außensicken mitgenommen.Should the internally exciting ring 21 stick in the inner cone when the vibration damper 3 "'is removed from the support tube 1"', the ring 21 is carried along by outer beads (not shown) located on the outer tube 6 "'below the ring 21.

Zwischen dem innen-spannenden Ring 21 und der axial beweglichen Scheibe 22 ist ein sich radial zwischen Außenrohr 6"' und Tragrohr 1"' erstreckender Gummiring 25 angeordnet. Der Gummiring 25 dient zur Vermeidung von Korrosionsschäden.A rubber ring 25, which extends radially between the outer tube 6 "'and the support tube 1"', is arranged between the internally clamping ring 21 and the axially movable disk 22. The rubber ring 25 serves to avoid corrosion damage.

Bei der in Figur 3 dargestellten Ausführungsform kann mit Vorteil das Tragrohr 1"' aus einer gewichtseinsparenden Aluminium-Legierung bestehen, da die größere Wärmeausdehnung eines solchen Tragrohres gegenüber dem aus Stahl bestehenden Schwingungsdämpfer 3'" in axialer und auch radialer Richtung durch den nachstellenden innen-spannenden Ring 21 kompensiert wird. Die formschlüssige Verbindung durch die oberen Befestigungseinrichtungen 4'" bleibt somit unter allen Temperaturbedingungen bestehen.In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the support tube 1 "'can advantageously consist of a weight-saving aluminum alloy, since the greater thermal expansion of such a support tube compared to that of steel existing vibration damper 3 '"is compensated in the axial and radial directions by the adjusting inner-clamping ring 21. The positive connection through the upper fastening devices 4'" thus remains under all temperature conditions.

Wie ersichtlich, sind sämtliche in den Figuren 1 bis 3 dargestellte Ausführungsformen der oberen 4' bzw. 4" bzw. 4"' und unteren 5' bzw. 5" bzw. 5"' Befestigungseinrichtungen ohne Aufbringung einer axialen Zugbeanspruchung auf das Außenrohr 6' bzw. 6"' betätigbar. In diesem Zusammenhang ist ferner hervorzuheben, daß die erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsanordnungen nach den Figuren 1 bis 3 derart angeordnet und lösbar ausgebildet sind, daß sie auf einfache Weise ein Wiederausbauen des Schwingungsdämpfers aus dem Federbein-Tragrohr ermöglichen.As can be seen, all of the embodiments of the upper 4 ′ or 4 ″ or 4 ″ and lower 5 ′ or 5 ″ or 5 ″ fastening devices illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 are without applying an axial tensile stress to the outer tube 6 ′. In this context, it should also be emphasized that the fastening arrangements according to the invention according to FIGS. 1 to 3 are arranged and designed to be detachable in such a way that they enable the vibration damper to be easily removed from the strut support tube.
